February Verve Diva Inspiration Hop!


It's the 5th of the month and time for the Verve Divas to bring you our monthly Diva Inspirations Challenge and Blog Hop! There are two ways to win Verve prizes.. comment on the design team's blog hop posts (linked below) to see their take on the inspiration, then go get inky and link up your take on the challenge to be eligible in our prize drawings!

Our February challenge is Vivacious Valentine...

Nothing says "I love you" like a handmade Valentine in your signature style. 
Use the inspiration graphic as a starting point, or head off in your own direction  - just make us swoon with a fabulously flirty creation!

I couldn't resist doing a card in gray and pink for Valentine's!  I paired up pattern paper from Bella Rouge by Pink Paislee and the sketch over at Fusion.  I used Love Notes by Verve along with Wavy Hearts Dies and Pennant Trim Die (my all time favorite Verve die!).
